1352 R2-D3

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the new 3-D TV. Some folks are ready for it. Some aren’t. From those who have actually seen it in action the reports are that its realism really depends a lot on your position in the room. You have to be sitting in the sweet spot.
Otherwise your 3-D experience is like Princess Leia from a broken R2-D2.
The big question is, will they make 3-D better or have they reached the limits of physics? If so, in order to have group 3-D we may have to change the positioning of furniture in our family room. The confluence of 3-D and Feng Shui, is this a great country or what?
A regular melting pot; 3-D technology dreamed up by the West, Feng Shui energy positioning from the East. Plop down Barcolounger enjoyment from the West and all the technology actually manufactured in the East.
So now it opens up the question of what you’d like to see cavorting around in the center of your sweet spot.
Some folks are anxiously awaiting 3-D renditions of movies from the sexy sixties, when lots of nudity and swearing abounded.
I don’t know. I don’t think I’m ready for Bob Carol Ted and Alice fussing and cussing on my coffee table. Or having someone drop in for a surprise visit while Midnight Cowboy is playing. Everybody’s talking indeed.
But I can visualize a whole new emergence of appreciation for Monty Python. The Black Knight scene would certainly encourage me to clean up the family room afterwards.
And they’ll redo Star Wars of course. Can’t wait for that.
So will the 3-D shot of Princess Leia projecting out of R2-D2 now be in 6-D?
America, ya gotta love it.
